Thread: Super General Discussion 2.0 - Always offering a happy, fun time~!

I just came across this really cool FF9 moogle papercraft.

Just curious, what sort of cool FF themed real physical things have you guys made/seen?

I know there are heaps of cool cosplays out there and a cool moogle sculpture and chocobo sculpture have both been posted on these forums (or was that the 1.0 forums..?) but what else is out there?

Extra points for FFXIV stuff of course but there's so much great stuff from all the FF games to draw on that I didn't want to limit it to just that ^_^

These two?
Sadly they don't mention Thal D:

Roegadyn: I'll buy you the finest sunsilk(?) haute couture clothing!
Hyur: So you can take them off of me again? No, no, sweetie.

(Maybe my translation is a bit off, but I don't know how exactly to describe the "kleiden" and "entkleiden". "Kleiden" means to put them on/wear them and "entkleiden" taking it off.)

Heh, funny that they are saying something different in German. This is what they are saying in English:

Either the game is checking for a legacy character in the account or... I am feeling seriously humble right now.

My condolences coris. XD


If you notice something different in my avatar (and charater on lodestone too) it's due an vow made to the Twelve in order to clear Titan ex and T5. (Ok nobody cares, but i need to write something for the character limitation XD)

Hmmm... Reading this really makes me wonder how the localization teams work...
I personally have the in game voices set to Japanese and written texts in English but I have enough understanding of the Japanese language to see that some of the things they say in English are completely different from the Japanese texts.

And then there's examples like these...

And yes, I am one of those people that listens very carefully when people speak different languages in movies, not only if the language is correct but also the accent, pronunciation and the context.

Too bad they don't need more "make stuff up" employees. I would love to come up with cool lore bits and what nots. _-_ Oh well.

I got German Text and Japanese Voice. Did this because I was disappointed by Merlwyb's German voice. She speaks so slow, stretched and rolls the R a lot, which I think doesn't really fit her (plus it isn't lip-synched at all).

If I remember correctly, then the German version of X is a good example. The German subtitles are sooo different from the voice acting it's really hilarious xD" I heard that the German subtitles more follow the Japanese dialogues/version and this is why it's a bit off.

Nevertheless, I wished "Hast du jemals von Thal Icebound gehört?!" was in the German version Maybe I'll make a thread for it.
